MY POINT IS THAT NO REAL WEBSITE WOULD USE THAT METHOD... IT WAS DEPRECATED FOR GOOD REASON YEARS AGO. The NYT uses html5 when it encounters an iPad (probably same for iphone, I didn't bother to look)... obviously you don't know that different sites can be served to different clients... If you are on an iPad... you probably won't see what follows next... |

HA, which is why I said probably.. youtube is smarter than I thought and compensates... does it play inline or in a youtube app that launches?
either way, the point of the clip was what it said not to demonstrate anything.. youtube is one of the few exceptions to the whole debate since I admit that they and a few others with the resources have implemented html5 |

I actually know he isn't using an ipad so it was just a meaningless jab. You can answer another question for me, what do you see on kcchiefs.com (besides a shitty team) I know what you should see, but I want to know if they are stone age or middle age in their tech at the moment. |

Megavideo- only flash
Vureel- only flash KCCHIEFS- only flash KCRoyals- only flash NFL- only flash FC Barcelona - only flash MLB - need app $15 ESPN - need app $5 NBA - need app $3 NHL - need app (price yet to be determined) ABC - need app (free for now) Hulu - need app (not yet built, price tbd) YouTube - works fine ChiefsPlanet - fine CNN - fine Google- fine CBS Sportsline - no clue how well it works in ipad, I'll assume fine So far those are all sites I have gone to in the last 4 hours... 5 work fine with an ipad, 6 require an app, and 6 don't work at all. Over the course of a month I would probably end up collecting 20 or 30 apps at this rate... can everyone see how that method of delivery could become one hell of a clusterfuck very quickly. I will concede that the ipad is JUST FINE for those who have extremely limited web usage and don't mind jumping thru a few hoops... I am not one of those people. |

I think I pretty much ended the argument when IJ posted a direct link to a video and then bolded in super big letters that "Oh, look, it plays on iPod touch and iPad. Oh, look, it's not HTML5 nor is it flash. Oh, look, it's NOT A DIRECT LINK."
Now in all fairness, I made a slight on ipad about a youtube embed before looking up the info that Apple very cleverly worked around that problem (just for youtube) by putting a specific hook into the OS... Although my slight was not meant to be on topic, I certainly didn't look very clever by adding it... |

Change those stats to 6-5-6 then... BUT doesn't much change my point... as a matter of fact just missing megavideo would kill me... that is where I watch most of my videos, youtube is fine for a few funny clips or a quick music video but not terribly useful for much else for me... hulu is annoying and poorly programmed (although I will use it from time to time)... but megavideo, individual sports team pages and sites like justin.tv for live streams are most of mine if I had to guess |
